i designed here a new board with mcf54415. Testing a first mainline kernel.
I would like to load a cramfs rootfs from SPI NOR (mtd, ftl) but actually
i don't see the SPI NOR flash detected from dmesg.
Next future step then would be load rootfs from SD.
Seems there is no selectable driver for
- SPI controller
- SD (MMC) controller
Those should be similar to existing drivers of some other freescale chip,
or some new implementation is required ? Attaching dmesg.
Most other ColdFire parts use the QSPI hardware module, and its driver
is at drivers/spi/spi-coldfire-qspi.c. But, looking at the hardware
reference manual for the mcf5441x family it contains a DSPI hardware
module - and it looks quite different.
That DSPI module looks to be similar to the one in the Freescale iMX
parts, and its driver is at drivers/spi/spi-fsl-dspi.c. I don't know
that anyone has used that on ColdFire with the mcf5441x parts,
but that is where you should start I think.
Many thanks for all these useful infos.
Ok, for now, since there are no spi driver ready to be used i can
just concatenate fs to the kernel. Then will try to have
them working.
I haven't used any SD/MMC drivers on ColdFire so no advice on where
to look for that one.
If you are feeling adventurous you may want to look at:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-m68k/msg10057.html
With a reasonably recent kernel you don't even need to generate a
different user space filesystem and binaries. You can run your flat
format non-MMU binaries on an MMU configured ColdFire system (as long
as you have CONFIG_BINFMT_FLAT=y in your kernel config). I would love
to be able to push this patch to mainline.
Sure, as soon as i am up with the rootfs i can
check the mmu, so very soon.

Greg
I let you know.
Thanks, regards,
